Letting go is the hardest part of a writer’s life.
This month marked a turning point in my career. After six years, my suspense trilogy, Deviant Behaviors, has come to an end, and I’m faced with a huge loss. Not only do I have to say goodbye to something I spent countless hours on, I have to say goodbye to all the characters who became like family to me.

Lol! I expect that Kindle Scout is something I’ll end up doing, unless another trad publisher makes an offer before I gear up in 2019. I have Lady by the Window tentatively scheduled for a 2020 release on my writing calendar. I may solicit another traditional publisher for Score of Silence if Panda Moon passes, but there is really no reason I can’t self-publish in the first half of 2018.
I just double checked, and the Lady by the Window first draft is done at 49,000 words, so it’s right on par with Score of Silence 50,000 word final draft.

Andrea! There will be a more official announcement on Wednesday, but I’m telling you first: Amber Cove has acquired the rights to publish Score of Silence and its sequel, Lady by the Window. Score of Silence is looking at a summer 2018 release,and presumably Lady by the Window will be out Summer 2019.

I just saw the notification that you reblogged this. Thanks for the boost, Mark!

You missed it because you’re in so deep doing that writing thang, right?
November 8th, 2017 at 15:08
That’s right. I’m actually currently working on four novels for NaNoWriMo because I’m completely insane. :D
